Abstract: A combination manual and automatic vehicle windshield wiper control system is provided which integrates a windshield moisture-sensing based wiper control system into an existing design of original equipment wiper system with minimum impact on manufacture and retrofit by using the existing vehicle wiring harness and existing connectors. The invention provides easy integration of a moisture-sensitive wiper control system into a class of vehicles in a manner which does not interfere with the operation of the standard or pulse-wipe systems already existing in the manual mode even if the moisture-sensitive system should fail for any reason. The moisture-sensing mode of operation replaces the delay or pulse mode.

Abstract: Proposed is a method of producing mineral-wool slabs with a higher-density layer on the upper and/or lower surface. The method is characterized in that a continuous strip of mineral wool with an uncured binder is conveyed continuously along a conveyor track and is subjected at at least one point along the conveyor track to high-frequency mechanical-impact treatment. The strip of mineral wool is subsequently fed to an oven to cure the binder and then divided into slabs.

Abstract: In a particulate enzyme-containing washing agent containing synthetic anionic tensides of the sulphate and/or sulphonate type, non-ionic tenside, a water-soluble organic builder and a water-insoluble inorganic builder, the cleaning performance is to be improved with the use of textile-softening cellulase without enzyme activation and without any loss of softening power in the presence of anionic tenside and a proteolytic enzyme. This has been achieved by optimising the constituents, especially the tenside components essentially in that the agent contains 10 to 25 wt % anionic tenside and so much non-ionic tenside that the ratio by weight of anionic tenside to non-ionic tenside is 1.5:1 to 20:1, and protease in such a quantity that it presents a proteolytic activity of 500 PE/g to 2000 PE/g and cellulase in such a quantity that it has a cellulolytic activity of 1 to 21 CEVU/g.

Abstract: A process for the production of grain oriented magnetic steel sheets comprises through-heating slabs containing more than 0.005% C, 2.5 to 6.5% Si, 0.03 to 0.15% Mn, 0.010 to 0.050% S, 0.010 to 0.035% Al, 0.0045 to 0.0120% N, and 0.020 to 0.300% Cu, the balance being iron and residual impurities, to a temperature which is lower than the solubility temperature T1 of magnesium sulfide and higher than the solubility temperature T2 of copper sulfide, T1 and T2 being dependent on the silicon content. The through-heated slabs are then hot roughed, followed by hot finish rolling at an initial temperature of at least 960 DEG  C. and a final rolling temperature of 880 DEG  C. to 1,000 DEG  C., to produce a hot rolled strip having a thickness in the range of 1.5 to 7 mm. During this last step, at least 60% of the total nitrogen content precipitates in the form of coarse AlN particles. Thereafter, the hot rolled strips are annealed at temperature of 880 DEG  C. to 1,150 DEG  C., followed by cooling at a cooling rate higher than 15  DEG  K./sec to induce further precipitation of AlN and copper sulfide particles. Thereafter the strip is cold rolled in one or more cold rolling stages to a final strip thickness of 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm, subjected to recrystallization and decarburization annealing in a wet atmosphere containing H2 and N2. A separating agent containing mainly MgO is then applied to both surfaces of the strip. The strip is then high temperature annealed, an insulating coating is applied and the strip is subjected to a final annealing.

Abstract: The invention provides water swellable wound dressing materials comprising from 5% to 50% of an alginate ester of a C1-C6 polyhydric alcohol; from 50% to 95% of a humectant consisting of one or more C1-C6 monohydric or polyhydric alcohols; and from 0% to 30% of water, the percentages being calculated by weight based on the weight of the material when anhydrous. The preferred alginate ester is propylene glycol alginate (PGA). The materials swell but do not dissolve in cold or warm water. Insolubility is achieved by the addition of polyvalent cations such as calcium ions, or by covalent cross-linking of the PGA, or by adding from 10 to 35% by weight of a water-swellable polysaccharide such as gelatin, or by adding from 5% to 20% by weight of a cationic polymer such as chitosan.

Abstract: A masking tape is provided that is suitable for insertion under many moldings and gaskets which not only masks the molding or gasket but also facilitates refinishing under at least a portion of the molding or gasket. The masking tape is constructed to include a longitudinal non-adhesive portion and a longitudinal adhesive portion, wherein the non-adhesive portion is stiffer than the adhesive portion and is sufficiently stiff to facilitate easy insertion of the non-adhesive portion beneath at least a portion of the molding or gasket to be masked while the adhesive portion is sufficiently flexible to permit the wrapping thereof around the molding or gasket. The stiffened portion advantageously provides a dual purpose of facilitating the easy insertion of the non-adhesive portion beneath the molding or gasket and creating a lever action during application between the molding or gasket and the wall or panel to which the molding or gasket is mounted. This lever action creates a force which tends to separate or lift an edge of the molding or gasket from the wall or panel to open the wall or panel under the molding or gasket for refinishing. The masking tape is especially applicable for masking flexible gaskets that include a leg portion that overlies an adjacent panel that is to be refinished.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a process for throughplating of printed circuit boards using conductive plastics for direct plating, wherein a polymer film with intrinsically electrical conductivity is adhesively deposited on nonconductive areas of the printed circuit boards, whereupon a metal film is applied. Selective production of the polymer film has previously been seen as requiring an oxidative pretreatment of the printed circuit board, though this can negatively affect the further course of the process. With the present invention the potential negative effects are avoided by forgoing the oxidative pretreatment.
